The Tarot of Eli 2, LLC. The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot-Queen of Wands & The B.O.T.A. Tarot-Queen of Wands

#tarotqabalahtraditionalelitarot2strikingly.com

The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot card is again of a more mundane nature than what we expect from the None Traditional Tarot. On the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Card, the Queen is stoic, holding a leaf sprouting phallic shaped wand implying her fertile and sexually passionate or expressive nature. The Black Cat is still and traditionally used rather than a leopard to imply her dark energy-subconscious side and/or "instinctual" side. Her solar-fiery nature is implied in the Sun flower she holds plus the ones on the tapestry, as well as, the Lions, both red and gold; Lions being the symbol of Leo and the Sun. The Red lions on the Tapestry also symbolized medieval royalty and a "Lion hearted" nature applied to this Queen. In the zodiac, the Queen of Wands rules from 21st degree of Pisces to the 20th degree of Aries and represents the mysteries of the Watery part of Fire. What can be simply said here, is that Fire is Spirit and the Watery part of Spirit is "spiritual matter" or the Conscious Spirit which is both fluid and colored (colors are not reflections of the force--but the actual force itself) and is often shallowly called "Emotions" (Energy-in-motion). If you could see the Aura and Chakras, as I do, you would know that the 8 conscious-states of Energy, called auric bodies, are made of "Spiritual matter" or Bio-Protons....Solar-Conscious-energy. We originated as Beings of Photonic evolution (Souls) and/or Light, not organic organisms. We need organic organisms to "Know ourselves".

Emotionally and otherwise, in Tarot, the Queen's personality corresponds to that of the King, but is more magnetic. According to Waite, the Queen of Wands, is a dark woman or country woman who is friendly, chaste, loving and honorable. In a divination, if the card beside her signifies a man, she is well disposed towards him; if a woman she is interested in the Querent.

The B.O.T.A. Queen of Wands, keeps to the "dark woman" image, with the dark hair color. The lions on the tapestry are royalty heralds. The Lions on both sides of her Throne, show the Leo-Sun connection, as does the Sunflower. She holds up the Wand, of purest light on one end (clear diamond) and that of the Shadow side/instinctual mind of Malkuth/earth, the dark diamond shape. Hence, her control over the survival mind is also shown in a "As above, so below" symbology. She is dressed in red/purple robes of royalty and also implying the element of fire.. What applies to the Rider-Waite-Smith- Queen of Wands also applies to this card. The mountains in the back ground may imply spiritual heights; However, she is also compared to the volcanic nature of the Hawaiian Volcano Goddess Pelé which also would include mountains.   

*Note: The Tarot Personality Birthday Wheel, which is used in the Thoth Tarot, to equate personality types, is not traditionally used in traditional Tarot. One must judge a persons activities as relating to a persona type of the court cards. I use the Tarot Birthday Wheel on all Court cards, no matter if traditional or none traditional, as it accurately represents the "core of the personality". If interested, you'll find this Wheel in my Thoth Court Card blogs.

When the Queen of Wands is thrown in a divination, it implies:

• As an Archetype personality, this would be a red or golden haired woman who is adaptable (spontaneous) , persistent in her energy but of calm authority which she knowingly uses to enhance her attractiveness.
• Independence.
• Closeness to Nature.
• Compassion.

• Such a woman of passion can be vane, but that is because she knows that passion is attractive in its own rite. 
• Although S/he is often kind and generous she will not tolerate opposition. 
• There is an immense capacity for friendship and love, as that is the nature of fiery passion: However, it is always done on her own initiative where she can not be talked into it or out of it.

When ill defined by surrounding cards or reversed it implies:

•  The Queen of Wands personality can be snobbish, vane, brooding which invariably leads to the negative decisions that cause her to fiercely attack. 
• Some might call this a "Fiery Latin" type of personality. 
• Her Passion can be stunning whether it is a sexual relationship or a vendetta.....so as the Leopard in her hand, she must be treated with respect, and remember that to play on her terms, may be beyond the capacity of a less passionate mate.
• The tyrannical tendency is very present here.
• The dominating woman.
• Jealousy.
